Riding and cutting the imperial pirates of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 102 Prepare for each other

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Not long ago, in the next big battle at Zijing Mountain, even though the few won the many, it greatly boosted the morale of the army.

It's a pity that no matter how perfect the process is, the result is still not total annihilation.

For the first time, something that Wang Zheng had tried so hard to hide was now being seen and exposed.

When he was sharpening his troops in Guangrao County, the remnants of Dong Lin also ran back to Linzi in a panic.

And the news they brought was even more explosive.

During the battle, Dong Lin, the highest military officer in Qi County, was beheaded by the thief leader Wang Zheng, and died on the spot!

More than 6000 officers and soldiers were crushed instead of putting down the chaos, and most of them died or surrendered.
It was a total fiasco!
Everyone's first reaction after hearing the news was almost the same.

impossible!
This is a rumor!

It's simply a horror of slipping the world!

There were even quite a few ignorant people who thought it was a trick done by the gambling houses in the city for the handicap, and even ran to make a fuss for a while.

Not long after, another piece of gossip came out.

It is said that when the county sheriff heard the bad news, he lost his voice for nearly an hour on the spot.

The first sentence Xu Xuan spoke afterward was:
quick!Immediately send a letter to the state shepherd for help as quickly as possible!
Now, everyone understands.

This is real.

The whole Linzi was no different from the sheriff, completely lost his voice.

And Wang Zheng's name once again resounded throughout the city.

Predictably, with the passage of time, the negative impact of this battle continued to ferment.
This name will spread throughout Qi County, and even Qingzhou.

If the panic of the people is only because such a large group of officers and soldiers were defeated by a group of yellow turban bandits.

The panic of the noble gentry went further than that.

They can read and write, they are more knowledgeable than those mud legs, so they can see more things through this victory or defeat.

No matter how unbearable the yellow turban bandits are, it is not that they have not won battles in the past ten years, and it is not without precedent that they have won against the regular army.

But that was basically done with a sufficient number of people.

It can be as few as several times, and as many as ten times.

But from the news brought by Dong Lin's remnants, these upper class and elites saw something even more terrifying.

One, Dong Lin's troops were defeated head-on in a field battle!

Second, in this war, the number of Yellow Turban bandits was less than that of officers and soldiers!
Three, no traps, no ambushes, no tricks!
When the inferences of these summaries were laid out one by one, they shuddered!

What does this mean?
The combat power of this Yellow Turban Army is far beyond their imagination!

If such a bandit Wangzheng with an elite army is allowed to coerce the common people and refugees.
To what extent will its real threat and destructive power reach?
We must know that the reason why the 30 Qingzhou army did not break through Linzi last time was that it was mixed but not refined.

Just because of the large number of people, for a big city like Linzi with a moat, the difficulty of defense is not high.

And now, for the first time, they felt panicked.

Especially when the state herdsmen left the country at this time and attacked Xuzhou.

With the power of Linzi alone, can it be defended?
Panic immediately breeds, and then spread.

Affected by this, the prices of shops and fields in and around Linzi City dropped rapidly.

But all prices have been rising steadily.

Because everyone knows it.

The bandit army has captured Guangrao and defeated the government army that put down the chaos. Then the day when the sword points at Linzi and the soldiers approach the city...
not too far.

The whole Linzi is like facing a big enemy.

The shadow of the thief has not been seen yet, but the grass and trees are all soldiers.

The city gates facing the east and south directions of Guangrao have already been completely closed, and no entry or exit is allowed at all.

Only the west and north gates facing Xi'an County and Bochang County are briefly opened several times a day for people to enter and exit for no more than half an hour, and they are closed immediately after the time has passed.

At other times, no one can leave the city without a handwritten letter from the Sheriff.

As for the big households and ordinary people in some surrounding villages and towns, they received the news quickly.

In the past few days, almost all of them flocked into Linzi, and the city was overcrowded for a while.

At this time, Xu Xuan, the prefect, had no way to solve these problems.

In addition to keeping calm on the face and personally coming out to appease the people a few times.

It is to organize civilians to build additional walls, barriers, ditches, and at the same time keep banners and drums at the top of the city.

In addition, in addition to asking Cao Cao for help before, at Sima Ju's suggestion, he immediately sent a letter to the two counties of Le'an, Jinan, asking for help.

In addition to the 2000 city defense troops who stayed behind before, and the more than 2000 who gathered the defeated army, many of the nearby counties that flooded into Linzi were also recruited by Xu Xuan to organize a militia regiment of nearly [-].

In his past, more than 8000 troops defended, and there were sufficient equipment and food for defending the city.

After all, from the current point of view, it is not a big problem to stick to it for a while.

Linzi is a big city.

Le Anguo, the prefecture of Linji County.

In the south of the city, Xu Mansion.

At this time, most of the gentry and gentry in the county lived in this area, and the people who came and went were all well-dressed and crowned, wealthy families.

Today is a bit strange.

From early in the morning, there are all kinds of people appearing here, dressed in different ways, some are monks in Taoist robes, some are dressed as merchants, and some are wearing short shirts and strong clothes, which seem to be bodyguards. Of course, at most The only ones are some poor and ragged families.

The aborigines of the upper class were either surprised or disdainful of these characters of three religions and nine streams, and no one noticed that they all entered the same house secretly.

"Shuai Qu, according to the letter from the deputy commander, Xu Xuan has sent documents to order the officers and soldiers of Jinan and Le'an counties to rush to Linzi for support."

A burly man asked excitedly after reading the letter Xu He handed over.

"Should we start immediately once their troops are drawn?"

"Soldiers are precious and fast." Xu He nodded, looked around everyone, and said one by one:

"The purpose of summoning you here today is to make an appointment. Once the defenses in the two counties are empty, you must rise up at the same time."

The nearly one hundred people gathered in his home at this time are not only the loyal followers of the Yellow Turban Uprising Army in Qingzhou who followed him and Sima Ju, but also the leaders who are currently scattered in the two counties and counties in charge of rioting, gathering crowds, preaching, and accepting believers. .

This is after Xu He saw Wang Zheng and his heavenly army's combat power with his own eyes.still have enough confidence
He will never be the reason and confidence for his anti-customer.

No matter how powerful your royal government is, it is only two counties now.

As for him, Xu He, he seems to be just a commoner at present, but his subordinates are very powerful, and he has already been hiding and gaining momentum. Once activated, the target will be directed at the two counties!

Looking around at the group of cronies, he showed a confident smile, and clenched his outstretched right hand into a fist:
"Once there is an incident, I want two counties and seventeen counties, all of which will be in my hands within half a month!"

He stared at the crowd, raised his arms and shouted:

"The sky is dead! Huang Tian should stand!"

Hearing this sentence, more than a hundred people in the courtyard showed fanaticism at the same time, and shouted one after another:

"The year is in Jiazi! Great luck in the world!"
